You may tell Ruburt he has not lost his bright self, and it has gone nowhere.

Tell him to remember a poem, Rapunzel, that he wrote years ago. He just denied expression to his bright self. This evening’s poem did indeed contain, and was in itself, an intuitional inspiration.

It was a welcome to the spontaneous self, expressed creatively. The idea is an excellent one. A poetic statement carries weight for his personality, and this poetic statement has almost magical connotations. As natives do a dance to induce rain, with often excellent results, so Ruburt’s poem represents the same sort of incantation.

The act of writing the poem at this time, regardless of the poem’s message, you see, represents a willingness to allow the spontaneous self expression. The message itself then doubly reinforces the suggestion. Even the emotion in the first portion, spontaneously expressed and creatively formed into art, is a good indication.

When the offending emotion is recognized as a part of the self it can then be rather harmlessly dispensed with. It takes its place along with other personality traits. It gains its power and strength only when it is forcibly isolated, for it then cannot merge with the normal ebb and flow of subjective activity.

Now. The reason for his unrest yesterday and today is simple. A reaction. He was afraid that his spontaneous self had been swallowed in our sessions. The emotional reaction was rather natural, since our last session touched on some deep points.

The poem was the resolution of the fear however, and a good sign. He does not need to fear the sudden release of the spontaneous self. (Jane pointed at me for emphasis.)He knows it is being released. He knows he is releasing it. But he has been afraid of releasing it suddenly, for fear it would engulf him. This is of course a symptom of the entire problem. (Leans forward.) It is the main reason he still has symptoms. It is why the few sudden releases, as with the Prentice letter, have in the past been followed by poorer days for a while.

One point: the spontaneous self is the healer. Tell Ruburt that. (Pause.) I will now then close our session, and leave you, I hope, in anticipation for our next.
